TOWNHOUSES PT. I/II (WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW)


What the world needs now,
Is townhouses,
It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
What the world needs now,
Is townhouses,
No, not just for some but for all who want one.

Lord, we don't need another detached house,

There are garages, front lawns enough for now,
There are highways and playgrounds enough to cross,
Enough to last 'til the end of time.

What the world needs now,

Is townhouses,
It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
What the world needs now,
Is townhouses,
No, not just for some but for all who want one.

Lord, we don't need another tower block,

There are parking lots, concrete and loneliness,
There is a social apartheid thanks to Le Corb,
Oh listen Lord, if you want to know...oh...

What the world needs now,

Is townhouses,
It's the only thing that there's just too little of.

What the world needs now,
Is townhouses,
No, not just for some oh but just for all who really want one.

What the world needs now,

Is townhouses.
What the world needs now,
Is townhouses.
What the world needs now,
Is townhouses.
